John,
I thought that Ms33 was the low contrast scheme, with just Light and Haze Gray. Thats what I've got on my USS San Francisco and USS Reno. I wasn't aware that Ms33 had this varient,

: : Thanks for the input. Now I'm really confused.
: : Squadrons new book, for all its faults, has a picture of C A68(you can read the hull# on then bow)in what they call
Ms 32/16d.
The reference on this web site list her as Ms 33 /16d , but Ms 33 was the low contrast Measure, eliminating b la color.
I'm thinking there is a typo on the ship camo reference. Which still doesn't bring me any closer to the deck p at tern!
: I orignally had CA-68 in MS 32/16d but after talking to John Snyder and Don Pruel, we determined that the colors carried by CA-68 were Light Gray 5-L, Haze Gray 5-H, and Navy Blue 5-N which would make it a MS-33 pattern and not MS-32.
As for Commanders and their MS-31 pattern....NO WAY!
